Marshal of Finland

Marshal of Finland (Finnish: Suomen marsalkka, Swedish: Marskalk av Finland) was the title awarded to the Finnish Commander-in-Chief Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim on his 75th birthday on June 4, 1942. The fully honorary rank was specially created for Mannerheim. Mannerheim continued to wear the same rank insignia as he had as Field Marshal (sotamarsalkka/fältmarskalk) since 1933: three heraldic lions of a full general with crossed marshal's batons.^{[citation needed]}
